White people content with the status quo have an interest in portraying this as a Asian vs. protected minorities fight.

Not only is it NOT so, it also does not make sense, since the only minority that is being unfairly treated in this particular instance are Asians.

So don't fall for it.

Perhaps you missed the part of the OP's article that said:

[b]"What brought the Asian-American number down to roughly 18 percent, or about the actual share, was accounting for a category called “demographic,” the study found. This pushed up African-American and Hispanic numbers, while reducing whites and Asian-Americans."[/b][/quote]

And you believe that? Of course it's not that. It's Harvard choosing lower-scoring white applicants for supposedly "soft" skills no one can prove they have, over all minorities, which particularly affects Asians, because they are objectively more qualified than other groups. But get this - if Harvard did away with some of the legacy and athlete admissions, ALL MINORITIES WOULD BENEFIT.
